The Gabriel Miami, Curio Collection by Hilton

ME Miami is the official hotel partner of the Miami Heat basketball team, so you might run into a player in the lobby or by the pool. Decor throughout the hotel is modern and hip, featuring neutral tones with gold or yellow accents. With a mostly minimalist design, the random abstract artwork and decor pack a bold punch. The rooftop swimming pool is surrounded by sun loungers and parasols. The roof-covered infinity lap pool features stunning views of Biscayne Bay. The two bars adjacent to the main swimming pool, Bella's Bar and Rooftop Bar, have just as beautiful views overlooking downtown Miami with elegant and sophisticated interiors. Bridging the gap between a fine-dining steakhouse and trendy social scene, STK offers a high-energy and vibey atmosphere, and the in-house DJ creates an energetic buzz. Aura Lounge offers a more relaxing, yet still chic, atmosphere with casual low-back leather chairs, large abstract art, and potted plants. Overall, the atmosphere is lively with mostly young leisure and business travelers frequenting the hotel.

ME Miami is located just north of downtown Miami, across from Museum Park (where the Perez Art Museum is located). The Adrienne Arsht Center, an arts complex, is a four-minute walk away. It's a five-minute walk to the American Airlines Arena, where events and concerts take place. There's not too much in the way of dining and shopping within walking distance, since the Wynwood area where some of the most popular restaurants and bars in the city are, is six minutes by car. For shopping, Bayside Marketplace is a seven-minute drive from the hotel. South Beach is 10 minutes by car. The Museum Park Metromover Stop is a three-minute walk from the hotel, which provides free transport to various areas in the city including the downtown Miami, Brickell, Park West, and Omni neighborhoods. There's also a bus stop right outside the hotel. It's a 15-minute drive to Miami International Airport.
